地球现代板块运动的天文和人卫多普勒测定

本文根据作者首次得到的全球113架光学天文仪器观测纲要的数千个星组未知数G,计算研究了1962-1982年间地球板块运动的某些方面.同时还根据1973-1983年间人卫多普勒的测量结果进行了相应的研究.这两种独立的技术其测量结果符合较好,且与地球物理和VLBI的测量结果相吻合.

Does the Southern Korean Peninsula belong to the Amurian plate? GPS observations

The Amurian plate (AM) in Northeast Asia plays a particularly important role in the estimation of surrounding crustal movements and interpretation of seismic activities, especially in southwest Japan. However, the existence of the Amurian plate and the location of the southern boundary remain controversial. Due to insufficient data, the southern boundary is not well known and often assumed to cross the Southern Korean Peninsula. Therefore, this area is critical to further accurately define the Amurian plate geometry. The existing permanent Korean GPS network (KGN) with more than 45 GPS sites plays a key role to discriminate the southern boundary of the Amurian plate near South Korea. Data for the period from March 2000 to August 2003 are analyzed together with data from IGS and some Chinese GPS stations. Estimated velocities show that South Korea is almost rigid and the southern boundary of the Amurian plate may not cross South Korea. Using the F-ratio statistical test, we determine whether South Korea belongs to the Amurian or South China plates. The test has shown that the Southern Korean Peninsula neither resides on the Amurian plate as hypothesized, nor is part of the South China block.     

The Characteristics of Seismic Activity Before the Devastating Earthquake with M wg. 0 Off the West Coast of Northern Sumatra

The characteristics of seismic activity in different time-spatial domain before the Mw9.0 earthquake were studied. The results are as follows ： ① The activity of the deep earthquakes in the north boundary zone of the Australian plate had been evidently strengthened since 1994, showing an increased frequency, magnitude and depth, especially in regards to the heterogeneous distribution of the earthquake depth （namely between 500km and 689km）. Meanwhile the shallow earthquakes of M ≥ 7.0 in the Sumatra island and its vicinity had been obviously strengthened too, and formed a strengthening area with a length of about 1000 km and width 300 km. ②The time distribution of global strong earthquakes with M≥ 7.0 shows that the character of anomalous seismic quiescence-activity one year before the Mw9.0 earthquake and during its active period, the strong earthquakes formed a seismic belt striking in NWW direction. At the same time, there is a seismic gap formed by earthquakes of M ≥ 5.0 in the epicenter and its neighboring region. ③ Two deep earthquakes of M ≥ 7.0 occurred in the west and in the east of the north boundary zone of the Australian plate half year ago. It is notable that one of them occurred in the Sumatra island where no deep earthquake with M ③ 6.0 has occurred in the past thirty years. ④The space distribution of moderate shocks occurring three days ago exhibited a NWW-strike seismic belt along the north boundary zone of the Australian plate. ⑤The activity of volcanoes distributed in the north boundary zone of the Australian plate had been strengthened in the past 4 years, especially several months before the occurrence of the Mw9.0 earthquake.     

Imaging the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, using teleseismic receiver functions: crustal fluids above the forearc mantle wedge

We image the Hikurangi subduction zone using receiver functions derived from teleseismic earthquakes. Migrated receiver functions show a northwest dipping low shear wave feature down to 60 km depth, which we associate with the crust of the subducted Pacific Plate. Receiver functions (RF) at several stations also show a pair of negative and positive polarity phases with associated conversion depths of ∼20–26 km, where the subducted Pacific Plate is at a depth of ∼40–50 km beneath the overlying Australian Plate. RF inversion solutions model these phases with a thin low S -wave velocity zone less than 4 km thick, and an S -wave velocity contrast of more than ∼0.5 km s⁻¹ with the overlying crust. We interpret this phase pair as representing fluids near the base of the lower crust of the Australian Plate, directly overlying the forearc mantle wedge.
